Brief Description of Campo

Campo, California, a small unincorporated community located in San Diego County, has a population of approximately 2,900 people as of the 2020 census (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020). Rich in history and unique tourist attractions, Campo once served as a frontier town and played a significant role during World War II as the site of Camp Lockett, a cavalry base housing African-American soldiers from the 10th and 28th Cavalry Regiments, known as the “Buffalo Soldiers” (San Diego History Center, n.d.). Today, visitors can explore its historical legacy at the *Pacific Southwest Railway Museum*, which offers scenic train rides along vintage tracks and showcases artifacts from the region’s railway history (Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, n.d.). Additionally, *Lake Morena County Park*, located nearby, provides opportunities for camping, fishing, and hiking, appealing to outdoor enthusiasts. With its rural landscape, Campo also features rolling hills, open spaces, and a close-knit community atmosphere. This blend of history, nature, and rustic charm makes Campo a unique tourist destination for those seeking a quiet retreat in Southern California.
